{"product_id":"staud-pullover-norman-sweater-pinot-multi","title":"STAUD | Norman Merino Sweater - Layered Neckline Trim","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Norman Sweater builds its identity around one defining gesture: a triple-layer neckline trim that stacks texture at the collarbone like a scarf built into the knit itself. Where a plain crew neck would read as basic, this dimensional trim gives the sweater a sculptural focal point, turning a simple pullover into something with visible craft. The rest of the body stays purposefully quiet — an oversized, relaxed knit that lets the neckline do the talking.\n\nWorked in merino wool, the hand-feel is soft rather than scratchy, with the fine, springy loft that merino is known for. It sits close enough to warm without the bulk of a chunkier fibre, so the knit drapes rather than stiffens, falling in soft folds instead of holding a rigid shape. Run a hand across it and the yarn has a slight give, a natural elasticity that keeps the ribbed sections at the neckline crisp while the body stays soft and fluid.\n\nThe cut is deliberately oversized — dropped shoulders, a roomy body, and sleeves with enough ease to push up or let fall loose over the wrist. This generous proportion is what makes the piece read as effortless: there is no fitted seaming to negotiate, no waist shaping to account for, just an easy rectangle of knit anchored by that structured neckline. The looseness also means it layers well over a fitted tee or thin turtleneck without feeling constricted, adding a second textural layer under the trim itself.\n\nMovement in the sweater is loose and a little slouchy — the fabric swings with the body rather than tracking it, which gives it a relaxed, unstudied quality whether worn to a desk, a weekend market, or dinner with a coat thrown over the top. It reads equally well pulled over tailored trousers for a soft-hard contrast, or kept casual with straight denim and boots. Because the silhouette is already loose, it also works tucked loosely at the front, half-tucked, or left fully untucked for maximum ease.\n\nAs a cold-weather layer, it earns its place by doing double duty: substantial enough to wear alone over a collared shirt with the points peeking out beneath the trim, but light enough in hand to slide under a wool coat or shearling jacket without adding bulk at the shoulders. Style it with a slip skirt and knee boots for an evening take, or with wide-leg trousers and flats for daytime — either way, let the neckline trim sit outside any outerwear collar so its layered detail stays visible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STAUD","offers":[{"title":"PINOT MULTI \/ S","offer_id":41844051673221,"sku":"688 NORMAN SWEATER","price":3590.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/STAUD-688_NORMAN_SWEATER-PINOT_MULTI_04.jpg?v=1788560476","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/staud-pullover-norman-sweater-pinot-multi","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
